In its fifth year, the annual event is Oct. 3-4 at Sierra Nevada's hop field, and tickets are generally sold out long before the event. The event includes dinner, live music including MarchFourth Marching Band, a commemorative beer stein and six styles of beer.

There will also be glass-blowing demonstrations by local artists, and an auction to benefit Friends of the Arts. Tickets range from $30 for a designated driver to $47.50 general admission. Attendees must be 21 years or older. Tickets can also be bought online at www.sierranevada.com
